Oil would leak from distributor area with noticeable power loss. Took the distributo off and found the source to be the distributor shaft seal. New seal can be purchased for around $15 and simple to replace. Bought new cap and rotor and the leak was fixed.

Symptoms:
-Oil in distributor cap and all around outside of the old distributor.
-Heavy steering
-Low idle
-Stalling at stop lights and on startup
-Rough idle (pressing knee against steering wheel caused entire vehicle to shake).

Solution:
Replaced old distributor with new aftermarket distributor (~$85).
-Power steering regained strength
-Smoother idle and no apparent power loss when stopping
-RPM needle doesn't budge when I turn on A/C (that's a first!)
